New Year, New Spot

We are back in Florida for a few months of warmth and sun. So far, so good. We are renting a nice little campsite in Palmetto with access to a pool, hot tub, and all kinds of activities we can opt into at will. We’ve been here since last Wednesday getting settled in and getting our camper in order. We took a break Friday evening to run up to St. Pete to see Diane, one of my card club buddies, and check out the Holiday lights at the Pier. As always, it was great to see her—and her pup Gracie. There were colorful lights and live musicians everywhere. Lots of fun. It’s nice that Diane is so close by. There will be some beach and pool days in the coming weeks.

We’ve made a couple of trips into Bradenton the last few days, allowing us to get a new dose of Florida style. Sharing for your viewing pleasure (tap picture to enlarge and see captions):
